Family Vacay

We came to Port A for a big Family vacay and had our parents up on the 3rd floor and they never left except to actually go home. Loved being above the dunes and watching everything.

Perfect spot with a view

You can’t beat this view and just short walk across the boardwalk to the beach. Stephanie was quick to respond to any questions and the condo was very relaxing. It had everything we needed and was very quiet. We enjoyed watching and listening to the waves roll in.

Never been to a beach

My sister-in-law is 67 and has never been to the beach so this was a surprise. She said she will never forget it. It made her life so much happier. Stephanie, the owner was always just a phone call away and very helpful.

Family vacation

We loved this place. It’s was a perfect location to the beach and to town. The condo was beautiful and clean. The property manager answered me right away when I text her. We didn’t have to bring a lot of stuff. Condo had everything. My 3 year didn’t want to love. We will be back soon. If you looking for a spot that is a minute or two walk to the beach this is the condo for you.. love the place and location..
